Looking for any info on my anc from your area.  Joseph, William & Moores DUNSMORE/DENSMORE were listed in the Yonge census at least in 1808, 1810 & 1811.  Moores was listed as witness to a marriage in Yonge with Samuel Avery.  Moores was born in Vermont in 1787   died in Jefferson County, New York in 1869   marr Cynthia AVERY (b. 1790 d. 1822 supposedly) in 1810.  They had at least two children (Ruth Densmore Ackerman, & Edmund Densmore who moved to Mich).  Cynthia is supposedly  daug of William AVERY & Deliverance MOTT of Mallorytown & Yonge Mills, and  said to be buried in Prescott.  Moores Dunsmore fought in the War of 1812, but I don't know for which side!  He also is said to have opperated a barge during the building of the Erie Canal...

Hans Van Beerschoten,, 1890 Cherryhill Road, Peterborough, Ontario,   K9K 2E3

 For the last 25 years ,  have been working on my wife's family tree wonder if there was any connection with the Loyalist Jessups in Prescott and Brockville.  William Jessup, Born in E’town Twp in  1798 (ca) as per 1851 (1852) Census of Wilberforce Twp. Renfrew Co. This William Jessup appears in the 1819 Census of Augusta Twp, as single & could have been in the same household as Edward & Susanna Jessup,  in the 1824 census he was shown as married & no children.  He marr  Mary Fraser (Frasier) on  3rd of Sept in 1823 in  St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church.  We have heard lots of stories that he is related to the loyalist Jessups, & even in old obits they mention the Loyalist connection.  In ca 1828, William Jessup moved to the Eganville (Bonnechere District) and was one of the first settlers in that area.

 working on are the LINK family from Stormont an& Dundas  all desc from William LINK & Elizabeth WEIR(s) who marr in 1825 in the Cornwall area.   Have not found William's parents.  He  b in Canada around 1800.  Because of the repeated use of the names John and Matthias, amongst others, in the succeeding generations,  believe they are probably related to John (Johanes) &/or Matthias LINK who seem to be loyalists; these two appear to have originated in the Stone Arabia area of New York State.
